TEMPE, Ariz. — Conrad Dobler, one of the NFL's top offensive linemen with the St. Louis Cardinals in the 1970s, has died. He was 72.
The Cardinals announced Dobler died Monday in Pueblo, Colorado. No cause of death was given.
Dobler played left guard on an offensive line that included Hall of Famer Dan Dierdorf for a St. Louis team that became known as the "Cardiac Cardinals."
"Our hearts go out to the family, friends and former teammates of Conrad Dobler," Cardinals owner Michael Bidwill said in a statement. "He was the kind of tough, physical and fierce player that you love to line up with as a teammate and hate to line up against as an opponent.
